death of young man fallen from tree |
| text: |
In the evening I heard that a Bala man, Medzong, fell off a tree while picking pan leaves and was immediately dead. Everyone is quite horrified but not unusually excited although it is a bad death. When I returned to the bungalow after sunset the young men were coming from the fields. They had only just heard of the misfortune. It is remarkable that news like this does not spread like wild-fire. Yongang did not know name or clan of the victim although he had been in the village all day. |
